We see a new global challenge on the horizon, and have decided to focus on better understanding the situation.

We learned a few things today:
The Haitian leader, Prime Minister Ariel Henry, appointed in 2021, was recently in New Jersey. He flew to Puerto Rico’s San Juan Airport on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. He was meeting in Kenya with Kenyan President William Ruto when fighting broke out. Officials from Kenya signed an agreement on Friday to send 1,000 police officers to Haiti as part of the United Nations security mission.

Finance Minister, Patrick Boivert, is serving as acting prime minister of Haiti.

Gang violence is present in Haiti according to CNN, and the over 100 Haitian gangs (source CNN) may be working to form a new government to address concerns with the current administration.

The United States intended to contribute $200 million to the multinational security support mission to back the Haitian national police “with planning, with intelligence, with airlift capacity, communications, and medical equipment and services,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said last week.

He had filed a flight plan to fly to the Dominican Republic, but DR shut down air traffic with Haiti. We ask the question, what was he doing in New Jersey and not in Port-au-Prince?
